# Chris Brockman — prediction record

Chris Brockman is a voice on The Rich Eisen Show and its Overreaction Monday podcast, where he weighs in on NFL predictions ranging from playoff races to player awards. His forecasts span the league, covering teams like the Patriots, Cowboys, and Eagles, and players from Saquon Barkley to Caleb Williams.

## Record

- **Accuracy:** 58.55%
- **MissedTakes Score:** 21.29
- **Graded articles:** 87
- **Graded individual calls:** 288
- **Clarity:** 96.31%

This is an established record: 30 or more graded articles.

The MissedTakes Score is how much better than a naive baseline they did, not how often they were right. Zero means no better than a strategy requiring no knowledge. A record is counted in ARTICLES rather than individual calls, because thirty picks in one mock draft is one act of judgment rather than thirty.
